Bible Versions Reproduction Series

The purpose of the Bible Versions Reproduction Series is to make rare and out-of-print versions of the Bible readily and inexpensively available to scholars, Bible students, and Bible collectors. These reproductions are being offered especially to members of the International Society of Bible Collectors.

While still searching for hard-to-find original printings of Bible translations, many collectors have indicated what a delight it would be to have on their own shelves accurate reproductions of Bible versions currently available only in museums, libraries and private collections. Now such an opportunity is being offered by a collector who is himself a member of our Society.

It would be rare to imagine a more enthusiastic member of the ISBC than my long-time friend Jim Baden. Since joining the Society, he has amassed an extraordinary collection. Visiting his library could be a temptation to violate the tenth commandment were it not for his great generosity and eagerness to share what he has brought together.

It ts essential, of course, that the reproduction process pose no threat to the integrity of the volumes being copied—no matter how fragile the precious originals may be. Such a method is now available, and Jim is demonstrating his confidence in the process by being the first to make some of his own prized volumes available.

Among the first publications in this Series is a reproduction of Isaac Leeser’s 1904 The Twenty-four Books of the Holy Scriptures. Society members will especially enjoy knowing that the particular volume by Leeser was once the personal copy of Arnold Ehlert, the founder and first president of the ISBC. “A gift to A. Ὁ. Ehlert from Dr. H. A. Ironside, summer 1947” is handwritten on the flyleaf.

Jim Baden shares the reverence for Scripture that has moved the leaders of our Society to give so freely of their time and energy for the past thirty-five years. He has profound respect and gratitude for the heroes and heroines of Bible translation—from Wycliffe and Tyndale down to the present time—who worked so hard, even sometimes at the risk of life—to make the Bible so readily available to the world today. Like other members of the ISBC, Jim regards the Bible as more than just a great book to be collected. To use his own words, he speaks of the Scriptures as “God’s method of communicating with his intelligent creatures... to be most carefully read and contemplated to discover its meaning and value for life in the present and future.”

What is more helpful in discovering the meaning of Scripture than to have readily at hand a good collection of different versions? Some have even suggested they would rather have a variety of versions than commentaries! As the translators of the 1611 King James Version quote Saint Augustine in their memorable preface, ’Variety of Translations is profitable for the finding out of the sense of the Scriptures.’ “Therefore blessed be they,” the preface continues, “and most honoured be their name, that break the ice, and giveth onset upon that which helpeth forward to the saving of souls. Now what can be more available thereto, than to deliver God’s book unto God’s people in a tongue which they understand?” And speaking of those who have labored to prepare translations other than the King James, the 1611 scholars urge “that we acknowledge them to have been raised up of God, for the building and furnishing of his Church, and that they deserve to be had of us and of posterity in everlasting remembrance.”

It is in this spirit and for this purpose that the Bible Versions Reproduction Series has been inaugurated.

William E. Paul, Editor, Bible Versions and Editions, Don Heese, Journal Production Manager; Sid Ohihausen, Membership Secretary; Mark Mage, Editorial Assistant; Jim Baden and this writer have each supplied several hard-to-find versions for this reproduction.

It is hoped that purchasers of volumes from this series will loan for copying other versions and editions that will become part of this reproduction Series. Those so doing will be rewarded with a free copy of a version of their choice from the Series.

Those interested are urged to contact the Publisher or Sidney Ohihausen, Membership Secretary of the International Society of Bible Collectors, at: Box 20695, Houston, TX. 77225.

PREFACE,

Tuar the truth of God should be rendered plain to tha ordinary reader, is αὶ proposition which none but a Romanist will be disposed to deny. Tguorance of what bis Maker has revealed, cannot benefit man: error and misconception must injure him. Every child of light will seek to kuow the truth, and will desiro to make it known to others. By suitable effurte to enlighten hia fellow-creatores in the things of the kingdom, he promotcs their welfarc, nnd advances the declarative glory of the Author of all truth. With these views and objects, the Editors have prepared this amended edition of tho New Testament, by diligently comparing it with the original Greek, availing themselves of the labors of learned and godly commentators of the last two hundred years; and gubmitting the emendations, made, to several emincut Biblical scholars. They do mot pretend to have corrected every eror and fault of the commonly received version; but they believe that they have removed many of its most objectionable blemishes, aud have eo far mado ‘4 GOOD TRANSLATION BETTER.”

| This bovk is designed for the examination of the mombors of the American and Foreign Bible Society, to convince them that the common version can be corrected without injury to its charactenstic excellences, and with great enhancement of its real value. The plates have becn made at the expense of a Few benevolent individnala, and will be offered to the Society, im con- nection with a proposition that a Committee of learned brethren be ap- pointed to correspond upon the subject of further emendations, and once a " year to submit to the Board those on which thoy unanimously agree. These, # approved by the Board, may ho introduced into the plates, aud the “buninesa of rectification be thue pradually prosecuted until the Society is prepared to approve and adopt the book asa standard. In the meanwhile, all persons who wish, should be allowed to purchase copies of the book, és amended, in order that they may oxamine the alterations, and freely @xpreas their viowa thereupon. For this purpose, the Board should be qguthorized to publiah from the plates, according to the demand. Such a an wil! prevent the evils which bave always resulted from efforts, however Well organized, to completes a version and establich it at once. The history ef the cammon version furnishes an eminent inatance of such an effort. Very soon after its publication, many of its numerous errors were diy govered, but the plan by which it was completed made no provision for their rectification. The plan now proposed, however, would snobmit the l

PREFACE AND CONTENTS,

book to the people before its final adoption, and subject every emendstion to universal criticism before being irretrievably approved and antborizad. With unwavering confidence in the God of truth, who is able to sustain his servants in their endeavors, however feeble, to make that truth more intel- ligible to the common mind, the Editors subject thair work to the candid examination of the members of the Amorican and Foreign Biblo Society.

51 And behold, the vail of the temple waa rent. in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rem ;

52 And the graves were open- ed; and many bodies of the anints that slept, arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city and appeared unto many.

54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the varth- quake, #nd those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

65 And many women were there, beholding afar off, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him :

56 Among whom was Mary Magdalene, end Mary the moth- er of James and Juses, and the

mother of Zebedee’s children,

62 Now on the next day, that followed the dey of the prepara- tion, the chief priests and Phari- secs came together unto Lilste,

63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that decciver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

64 Command therefore that the scpulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal hin away, and say unto the people, Ho is risen from the dead; so the last error shall be wurse than the first.

GS Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make ἐξ as sure 85 ye can.

66 So they went and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
